While I am on-side with the idea that there's value in forgetting, you would have to yank my Workflowy from my cold, dead hands. If I had to choose between giving up my calendar or my lists, I would give up my calendar every time.
I believe that "forgetting" is really the wrong lens, anyhow. Aside from simplicity, Workflowy's primary draw for me is that it can help me rapidly (a few 10s of ms) find any keyword in my massive, 10+ year, 75k+ node list-of-lists. I can relax and "forget" because I trust that what I need is there when I go to search for it. This is the exact same mechanics at work in Inbox Zero, which is also something that helped me reclaim my life.
Workflowy has literally allowed me to forget more than most people know about the topics I'm expert in. If that's not a solid pitch, I honestly don't know what could be.
